Construction of the main towers is under way on the Second Geo-Geum Grand Bridge which will be part of the fixed connection of the Geo-Geum Island to the South Korean mainland. The two lane highway bridge with its total length of 2,028m is the second stage of this fixed-link project and will connect Sorok Island to Geo-Geum Island passing Dae Hwa Island. Erection of the superstructure and cables is intended to start in 2008 with completion of the whole link currently scheduled for 2010.

On the southern outskirts of the South Korean capital of Seoul, a brand new city is being planned. This hugely ambitious, US$12 billion development is aimed at creating a high technology international business destination that the Korean government hopes will become the major trading and commercial hub in north east Asia.
